<p>My 8 year old niece wants to share her piece:</p>
<p>"When I find out I needed glasses I was kind of shy and nervous because I thought I was gonna look weird. I was going to have to go to school with glasses. But then I relied that other kids wear glasses so I didn't feel shy any more.</p>
<p>Now I feel better because I can see well and I can read better."</p>

My mom noticed my eyes moved a little weird when i was a baby. I can't really tell you my reaction, because i was 1 and a half (They were tiny little flintstones glasses). :) So i've had them for as long as i can remember (i'm 14). But now since i'm getting older my parents are going to let me get contacts. Yay!<br />
<br />
PS. You look better with glasses. But not the bigger ones that youve worn in more recent videos. The smaller ones.<br />

I found out I needed glasses a while after I wore my grandpas glasses. It was all fuzzy, and I liked looking through them cause I've never had glasses before, but unfortunately that was the reason I needed glasses. -_- I was like Great! I shouldn't have worn my grandpas glasses all the time!!! (Which I did secretly... LOL) And now, people say I look better with my glasses on. They are also the same people who said glasses won't look good on you. >_<<br />

I found out I needed glasses when I went to a baseball game and couldn't see the score on the super-jumbo digital scoreboard. My first thought: "...Well that's not good." But then I got really cool glasses so it turned into quite a good thing :)

Funny story...<br />
<br />
When I was 14, I started noticing that things looked fuzzy. Not reeally noticably, but enough for it to be odd. I told my mom and she sort of shrugged it off because it wasn't a problem. I could read things that were far away well enough (or at least I was a good actress).<br />
<br />
Also, for years and years, I'd been telling my family that one of my ears didn't work. My sister called me George Bailey (from <i>It's A Wonderful Life</i>) and no one took me seriously.<br />

Well, when I turned 15, my high school was doing the little health screening thing, checking our vision and hearing. For years, I'd actually been lying about the hearing in those check-ups. Raising my hand whenever I'd heard silence for too long, figuring that I <i>should</i> have heard the buzzing in my right ear. But when I turned 15, I went in totally honestly - because I wasn't afraid of the repercussions anymore, I guess - and came out of it with a note for my parents, saying that I needed glasses AND an appointment with the ear, nose and throat doctor.<br />
<br />
I wore glasses all through high school after that. I remember the first thing I watched with glasses. It was <i>Romeo And Juliet</i> at my school. Everything was so CLEAR. It turned out I'd been getting by with things being fuzzy for a really long time, because facial expressions on stage had never looked so clear. I felt like an idiot for not being more vocal about my vision.<br />
<br />
I wear contacts now, usually. But that's another story entirely. And I'm completely deaf in my right ear.

I found out that I needed glasses when I was 15 1/2 and started driving. My mom noticed that I could not read the street signs from the intersections. I didn't know that I was supposed to. My first glasses were big, plastic, and rose pink. Because it was still the 80's. It was not long after I got glasses that my mom said, "so all those years when I was pointing out the airplanes and you said couldn't see them, you really couldn't see them?" Seems like it...<br />

When I was in like 3rd or 4th grade, I actually wanted glasses. I told my mom I couldn't see the board in class, so she took me to the eye doctor. He concluded (surprise!) that there was nothing wrong with my vision, but since he believed my mom and she believed me that I couldn't see the board, he thought I might be having trouble focussing and gave me a pair of bifocals. I was cool with that until my mom mentioned how weird that was since that was what old people wear. Then I was embarrassed.…

Don't make up or exagerate a condition or illness because the cure is never as cool as you think it might be. (I thought about saying, "Be careful what you wish for," but that's not as fun and grammaticaly incorrect.)<br />
